Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and a bunch of campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

Don’t care that I missed a word in my first post. I’ve had such a rotten few days that I truly don’t care.

If Mike Lee can do this, imagine what McCarthy would get away with in 2025.

Trying to explain “Based Mike Lee” to Chuck Schumer sounds like it’ll go about as well as me trying to explain POGs to my grandparents in 1994.

It was hard not to. WaPo was one of our finest newspapers. They stood for something.

Yeah, that was a real choice, wasn’t it? No pity from me either. The “bless your heart” was a genuine southern “get fucked.”

Horrifying? Yes. But also with a bit of “bless your heart,” because my word did they try to shine this obvious turd into gold.

I know WaPo has gone downhill, but I didn’t realize things were so bad they’re letting WH comms staff draft their social content.

Oh shit, I totally forgot that my mom got her nails done next to Missy Elliott and had a DELIGHTFUL time (as you might expect). She also had no idea who Missy was, which made it all the funnier.

I've run into various politicians in DC, but that's super lame and a lot less fun than folks like Tiger, Usher, Clint, etc.

My dad was browsing around Gruhn's in Nashville and strumming on a guitar. In walks Brian Setzer. My dad put down the guitar he was playing realizing he was out of his league.
My brother has run into a BUNCH of random celebs in LA. Big names, but no slight interactions.

Ansley held the door open for Clint Eastwood at a hotel and said "good morning, Mr. Eastwood!" He growled at her.
My mom held the door open for Usher at Lenox Mall. She had no idea who he was until she got home. That was funny.

This is fun. I'll do this for the rest of my family.

A lot of people want a front-row seat for the end of the world. When the dominant religion and much of our pop culture fixates on the apocalypse and apocalyptic events, you're bound to end up here.

I've been ruminating over how to articulate this, but we need to start the conversation about planning for the future (up to and including a Constitutional Convention). I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time (fight the current threats with an eye on what comes next).
